  1. When I finally got the tears to stop, I went into the family room and loved on my two dogs. Thanks for sharing.
  2. Gary Z, Vmax exhaust won't work. Mounting for our mono shock gets in the way.
  3. Here are the pictures of the punch mark. ebay 9-05-2010 001.jpgebay 9-05-2010 002.jpg
  4. nope that's not it. I'll get pictures and post tomorrow.
  5. Showing my age a little, I've been riding Ventures since they came out in 83. Back then I lived in Chicago. Yamaha was only repairing the ones that actually failed. And the dealerships were instructed to mark them with a punch mark. Right above the middle gear cover, on the engine case, there are two round machined flat spots. The mechanic was instructed to put a punch mark on the left one. I own an early 84 that has the punch mark.
  6. Starting fluid works great to clean oil out of cloth. It also evaporates faster than almost any other solvent.
  7. If it's never leaked before, and you haven't had the side cover off for stator replacement or starter clutch repair, I'd buy oil seals for the shifter rod and clutch rod (behind slave cylinder), and an o-ring for the gear indicator sending unit. Do them all while your in there.
  8. If your asking about the clutch switch, yes it is spring loaded. If your's doesn't pop out on it's own, there's your problem.
  9. It is your clutch switch. If you run your hand under the master cylinder, right where the clutch switch mounts, you will feel a small hole. Take a phillips head screw driver, insert it in that hole and push in. While pushing in, pull the clutch switch out. Soak it good with WD40 while working the little button in and out, this will give it good cleaning. Then re-insert the switch. This should alow you to start while in gear. It's a pain, and embarassing to kill it as the light turns green. And you can't find neutral.
  10. Wow, great pictorial of a fork rebuild. Thanks.
  11. 1968 Sitting with a buddy in his tricked out '55 at a drive in (you know, where they bring your food out and hang it on the window). Listening to [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOErZuzZpS8]YouTube- Arthur Brown - Fire[/ame] Arthur Brown - Fire and the car radio starts billowing smoke. Wire short.
  12. Or, just look at your tach. If there is a green light at the bottom of your tach, it's an 84.
  13. Angry Eyes by Loggins and Messina. Curt
  14. Looks like fat old man Vmax. I'm 6'3" , 300 lbs, and approaching 60. I've been holding on to a Vmax wiring harness. You didn't whack a Venture harness I bet. With those filters and that exhaust, what jet sizes did you go with in the carbs? Curt
